Learn how power system testing equipment is developed to ensure maximum user safety.

Working with electricity is always dangerous, especially when dealing with high-voltage electrical equipment, where every task can be a matter of life or death. Electrical engineers must depend on their vigilance, strict adherence to electrical safety rules, and even the safety features in their testing equipment to ensure maximum safety when working around electrical power.

In this episode, we speak with Jakob Hämmerle, Safety Product Manager at OMICRON. He offers tips for power system testing safety in high-voltage environments and describes how life-saving features are included and continuously optimized in OMICRON power system testing devices.

Jakob clarifies that while OMCRON testing devices will unlikely come with life vests, airbags, safety belts, and anti-roll bars any time soon, customers can be sure that the company is constantly developing new, practical safety features that aim to make power system testing as simple, efficient, and safe as possible. Jakob also explains how a product safety risk assessment, or PRSA, is used throughout product development to eliminate user risk.
